I thought it might be interesting to explore the re-use of every day materials as part of my art. I chose plywood and fence posts as they were readily available. We had a supply of good quality plywood from when our house was built and when I approached local crofters who had been re-fencing they were happy to give me their old fence posts.

It has been a joy to carve and expose the various layers of the plywood and a pleasant surprise to explore the beautiful grained wood hidden beneath the dull weathered surface of plain ordinary fence posts.
